Wonderful small boat ride to glacial beach. Intermediate kayaking skills suggested to avoid ice and other kayaks. Wear warm layers good when wet with glacial silt and rain. Bring hot tea/cocoa for lunch break. Hard to pee in gear. Highlights were the booming, crashing, snapping of glacier ice above/around us, drifting along w seals and otters, poking small ice shards, hot shower once home. July 6. 55 and rainy. Despite raingear, all were wet, cold, excited, happy, exhausted. read less

I could tell you about the whales, the sea otter, the sea lions, the seals, the glacier ice, the waterfalls and the Columbia Glacier. I could but you need to experience yourself. Make it happen and you will not regret it. read less

It would even be better if lunch could be provided even with a bit extra cost. The afternoon trip can be extended a bit as well, 40 min kayaking after lunch is a bit less. read less

We booked a 6 person trip out to the Columbia glacier with Captain Tim and guides Seth and Dan. Everyone involved was obviously very experienced and passionate about Alaska wildlife, the environment, and giving us a great time. They went above and beyond with friendliness and interesting factoids about Alaska all day long. The boat ride was beautiful, and experiencing kayaking out among icebergs and in full audience to the vast Columbia glacier was I describable; totally surreal. I loved that this was a small company, you could totally see how much they cared. We were blessed to have amazing weather and made it all the way to the glacier but even if the elements had not allowed I know the crew still would have made it a special and surreal experience. I will never look elsewhere for a sea kayak guiding company. I am so glad I chose Pangaea. Book a tour with them a you will not regret it. read less

We were going to do a guided trip but on Friday night while we were out at dinner, we got a call to let us know our guide had been injured. We wanted to make sure he/she was okay, but were fine doing a self guided trip on our own. We had a great experience in the morning getting everything set up, and then we were off on our own to explore the harbor and duck flats area! We met a family of sea lions sun bathing on a rock who proceeded to follow us around for a half hour with their heads constantly popping up checking what we were doing. We are planning to do a significantly longer trip next spring! read less

A short hike to the waterfall and heaps of Salmonberries to snack on made this a perfect half day activity. Nadine is a wonderful and very knowledgeable guide!

Serene Highlight of our Alaskan vacation. Guides were knowledgeable about natural and historical facts on top of kayaking skills and safety.

Off to a great start with the office staff and then Captain Tim who navigated the waters like a boss and a solid pat on the back to our guide, Seth, who sealed the deal with his down to earth knowledge and savvy guidance as we kayaked to Columbia Glacier. We will never forget this day in Valdez. Thanks to Pangea for making it a day worth journaling. read less

All of our fellow tour guide buddies recommended kayaking Columbia Glacier but using Pangea specifically. Our guide, Natan, was rad and full of fun facts and our captain, Tim, was equally as phenomenal and chill. We were lucky enough to see a humpback whale, otters and seals just on our way to the glacier but several more seals once we were out kayaking. It’s incredible how thick the ice was, especially coming out at low tide, and how often you could hear the cracking and calving of the glacier. Solid group that was fun to hang out with after next door at The Fat Mermaid to celebrate a vitally eye-opening experience. read less

Our hotel recommended Pangaea as the way to go but when we arrived there we saw that all the kayaks were enclosed, not open like our previous kayaking experiences in S.America and Hawaii.

Megan was terrific. No pressure. She walked us over to the dock, we checkout out all the possibilities and then she left us in the hands of Eric, who helped us try out different kayaks. Unfortunately, none were comfortable for our backs and we chose to pass BUT we were so impressed with the time they both took and the lack of any pressure.

I can only imagine how accommodating they would be on one of their kayaking tours so I would recommended them without any hesitation and if Eric is available, grab him. read less

We stopped by the shop the morning before and got the skinny on what to expect the next day. Later that evening my husband started having chest pains and ended up in the hospital. I called Pangaea around midnight and left a message that we would not be keeping our rez for the next morning. After spending the night in the hospital we got a call from a staffer at Pangaea the following morning and she very kindly told me that due to our situation she would not charge us for the missed trip. That's a class act in my book. I did not expect this as the fine print was clear that you would be billed for any cancellations. Thanks Pangaea! read less

It was our first time doing Kayaking, and 6 of us were all rookies. Before we booked the tour, we had a lot of concerns. The tour went very well it was well organized. Our guide Ben was from Minnesota, who went to Alaska in early May to get some company training. He was in charge of 8 people on 4 kayaks. Ben was very knowledgeable. We liked him very much. We had a memorable experience especially for our kids. read less

Usually the minimum group size is 4, but they took out a smaller group (3 people total) because it was the first day of the season. Our guide, Seth, was great, and the company's owner, Tim, was our wonderful captain. Both offered lots of good information about the area and were very flexible and accommodating. We had extra guides-in-training along who were helpful to us, too. There was no way of predicting what the ice would be like, and unfortunately it was a little too impacted for our kayaks to make it around the corner to see the glacier, but later Tim motored the boat to get us good views of the glacier face and surrounding mountains. It was a cloudy day but we still got some good views, and the clouds create better colors for the icebergs, anyway. Also saw many otters, some seals, bald eagles, etc. along the way. Tim has outfitted the boat with some additional protections for COVID (plexiglass dividers in the cabin, etc.) Note that it will be hard to maintain 6 feet of distance and the boat ride is long (2+ hours), but everyone wears a mask on the boat! Overall a highly organized and professional outfit, creating a perfect day trip. read less
